What Are PDO Threads?
PDO threads are Polydioxanone threads which are classified as biodegradable sutures made of a medical-grade polymer plastic. They gently placed beneath the dermis layer of skin to retract, tighten, and rejuvenate. These were first introduced into surgery in the heart for cardiovascular procedures, and now they have been embraced by the FDA for beauty enhancements.
The threads, once placed, act as a scaffolding support structure while also stimulating the body to produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—the most important components associated with youthful skin—beneath the dermis layer.
Resulting in a smoother and firmer skin surface, as well as tighter skin. Free from surgery.
